We’ve been training instructors since 2004.

willpower Interns have use of the willPower & grace® choreography and program trademark for your 90-day internship period. A video evaluation is required after practice-teaching approximately 15 willPower classes to friends, family and other volunteers. With a minimum passing score of 70%, you’ll receive your Certificate of Completion, become Licensed Instructor, and you’ll be able to teach at any facility you’d like! You can use the licensed classes, marketing material… you can even order willPower branded business cards!

Our evaluation process is comprehensive; you’ll be evaluated in over 50 areas. You’ll receive a full written evaluation and then engage in a constructive one-on-one Skype consultation with a willPower Development Coach. This valuable evaluation feedback will make you a better instructor in many other modalities. This constructive experience is your self-investment into your development as a fitness professional.

“I have become a much more positive and focused instructor, paying closer attention to positive vocal coaching and my music choices. This has affected all the different classes I teach, most notably group cycling.” – Tracy M., Providence, RI

“As a teacher going through the evaluation process: it was spot-on feedback, done in a professional, kind, and positive manner. The willPower Method® provided me with a valuable tool in becoming a better student and as a result, a better teacher.” – Shila L., Flagstaff AZ

There is no Club Licensing fee for this program. Once instructor status is achieved, you’ll maintain your own license. This license is required for all instructors teaching our trademarked program, so that you can teach at any facility.
